Make You Believe ( A Benjamin Lasnier Fan Fiction )

Chapter 32

Sam's POV

The freaking photographer was coming late, the coffee machine broke, the snacks at the break room was lacking and everyone was complaining! Mac was right, I should've slept last night instead of sketching new designs that mom could possibly approve but somehow she still pushed through with Benjamin's ridiculous design.

Everything is just so wrong

"Samantha! Some of the light bulbs are flickering!" yelled Jason who was currently working as my go to assistant. I let out an exasperated sigh "I'll just go out and buy new ones but can you just please calm everyone down?" Jason looked at me sadly and nodded "Don't worry too much Sam"

With that being said I left the studio. I ran towards the hallway and to my surprise the elevator was broken

"Shit" I cursed

I took off my pumps and made my way down to the staircase. "Ouch" I shrieked in pain "Blisters sure" I wobbled to the nearest couch and sat down. My feet were definitely not my biggest asset I have to say, I have really big feet and I never wanted to go barefoot ever again especially at work. If these pumps would kill them so be it

"Seems like your feet aren't so flawless now aren't they?" a voice muttered and I looked up to see Teresa kneeling down infront of me with a smile. I faked a smile in reply "Oh hey Teresa" I said rubbing my left heel. I watched her sat down next to me as she took my foot on her lap my eyes widen as she started massaging them "Don't worry I learned this back at camp" she assured me and brought out a soothing gel from her bag. She coated my heel with a generous amount of gel and massaged it one more time before taking my pumps and placing it back on my feet. "There you go"

"Uh.. Thanks" I awkwardly said and she stood up taking her bag with her. "So are you and Benjamin dating?"

Why now Sam? Why

My eyes widen as I heard those words escape from my mouth "I mean, not that I care or something.."

She smiled and shook her head before turning away from me as she went to the elevator. I slapped myself "The hell was that Sam?" I told myself and groaned.

I stood up and fixed my clothes before heading out the building

"How can I go to the Nuts and Bolts emporium" I told my phone as I waited it to give me the directions I needed "Just head down south from here and then turn left near Ms. Payton's bakery" I let out a breath "Thank you Siri!"

"Correction, the name's Benjamin"

I looked up from my phone and saw Benjamin smirking at me with his arms folded while his back was against his black rover.

Disgusting

"What do you want now Lasnier?" I said raising a brow "Since I told you the directions to the emporium why won't you come with me for lunch?"

"How about you just leave me be"

"No way don't you know how hurtful it is to have your name mistaken by someone like you?"

"You can't get me with your sweet talk" He smiled at my words and stood up straight "I'm doing you a favor you know?

"Veronica must be looking for you, you should head back to studio NOW" I stated changing the subject. He looked at his watch and gave me a frown. "No can do Sam, it is lunch time you see..." he held up his watch "Twelve o' one"

Just on cue my stomach grumbles and I held my hand to somehow stop it from grumbling before he starts mocking again which eventually failed.

"So,what do you say Ms. Harrison?"

* * * *

"I'll take another of those teriyaki watchamacallit oh and top it off with a large slice of cheese that would just be wonderful" I said smiling as I pointed out my order to the waitress who looked at me bewildered. "Come on, go do your job"

"Yes maam kindly wait for about ten minutes"

"Thank you!"

"Really Sam?" Benjamin chuckled "What?"

"After eating a whole rice bowl you're still THAT hungry?"

"It's not like you'll be the one paying anyways" I stated and wiped my face with a napkin. Benjamin laughed and took a glass of water "I love how they still serve you the weirdest selection of meal. They must have a lot in stock" I ignored his insults and took a sip of water. "I'm tired okay? And I could really use the energy"

"Suit yourself" he mocks and leaned back on his seat with a smirk still plastered in his face. "Just try to keep track of time 'mkay?"

why?

"The photographer's going to be at the studio after a few minutes" He stated chuckling almost as if he has read my mind. My eyes widen and I went ahead to run after the waitress. That sick man must've planned all this out to embarass me.

A while later after aruging with the stuck up waitress--I went back to my seat with my food sealed inside a paper bag "You're such a-"

"Bitch? Traitor? Come on Sam, is that all you got?" Benjamin spat chuckling. I have to deal with him later but right now, Mr. Fil- the photographer is my main priority. "Can we just leave now?"

"Sir?" I spat through gritted teeth

* * * *

"Come on!" I shouted as I watched Benjamin walk out the emporium with the box of spare light bulbs in his hands. He was walking painfully slow maybe because he wasn't strong enough. I groaned and stomped towards him. "I'll take the bulbs" I stated sternly taking it away from him. "Now can you please walk faster?!"

"Aren't we going to take my car?"

I rolled my eyes and gave him a glare. "Are you blind? Can you not see the traffic that truck caused?" He rose a brow. "The accident from earlier? Do you NOT remember anything?!" I spat and he tilted his head. I don't know if he doesn't really recall anything or if he's just teasing me either way, it is very annoying.

I let out a deep sigh and started walking again in a brisk motion "If I were you I'd start running back to the studio" I shouted not facing him. The box wasn't that heavy as I suspected but since it was fragile I still had to be cautious in handling it. Maybe he was just passing the burden.

"Gosh Benjamin, how can you not carry all of these"

A couple of minutes later we reached the building. "See that wasn't bad, was it?" I stated smiling as I checked my phone for the time "See! We have five more minutes to spare! This is perfect for a good retouch"

"That long walk must have messed up your whole face. Don't want that to be featured at the photoshoot" I joked and turned around to face him. Bur to my surprise he wasn't there.

Maybe he stopped for a toilet break. So immature

A group of students at the corner bench looked at me confused finding that I looked like I was talking to myself. I looked at them and rose a brow "What are you looking at?" I spat and they looked away
